Athletes sell car plates for Cancer

Student athletes are raising money for cancer patients.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee at the University of Kansas is running a fundraising campaign and will give all proceeds to the American Cancer Society.
the American Cancer Society Student athletes sold Jayhawk license plates for $2 before both home football games.
Pat Scherer, Hiawatha resident, finished chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer last year. The home-opener was the first KU football game she attended since finishing therapy.
Fans buy KU license plates from swim team members Jackie Krueger, Sussex, WIs., sophomore, and Andrea Becker, Wichita sophomore. The swim team sold plates to benefit the American Cancer Society.
"I think it's wonderful that they do this." Scherer said. "They don't have to do it, but they do."
Advisory Committee "Dr. Bohl wants to see more Ijawhaks than Wildcats on cars," said Jessica Wachter, staff member for the committee.
they go. Al Bohl and the Athletics Department donated 2,000 plates to the Student Athlete Advisory Committee for its campaign.
Athletes said alumni bought the majority of the plates but students occasionally donated.
Last year, student athletes raised $2,800 by
selling T-shirts. So far, the committee has raised more than $700 this year, Wachter said.
Student athletes will sell license plates before the Oct. 12 homecoming football
game. They will also sell plates at one home game of every KU sport.

Senate volunteers solicit voters' voices

Armed with clipboards and voter registration cards, volunteers with the Student Senate Legislative Awareness Board are invading campus today. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the volunteers will be asking University of Kansas students to register to vote.
The effort, one of three campus voter invasion days, will be similar to Senate campaigns in the spring, when prospective senators solicit votes from passing students for the Student Senate elections, said Jeff Allimon, Senate community affairs director.
communicate.
"Our selling point to senators was 'you annoy everyone during campaign day, let's work with the same intensity — only together, toward a common goal'," said Allmon, Wichita senior.
The drive aims at registering at least 5,000 KU students for November's election.
But Tom Longoria, associate professor of public administration, said registration drives might be ineffective in getting college students to the polls.
"The days of voter registration drives are pretty much gone," said Longoria, who said college-age students were often thought of as a demographic that didn't vote.
"People of higher incomes and older age vote in higher numbers." he said. "College students have neither of those things."
Other Big 12 schools are also organizing similar campaigns.
The Government of the Student Body at Iowa State University is working in cooperation with the Iowa secretary of state in order to improve voter turnout on its campus.
Michael Banasiak, director of government relations at ISU, said this was the first year his organization was really pushing voter registration.
Greg Albrecht, Emerson, Neb., junior, said he would see the voter registration volunteers as an annoyance.
"We've had a lot of budget problems, so we're just trying to get students to have a voice," Banasiak said.
"I like to walk to class in peace and quiet," he said.
